Notebook Requirements Will Be Discussed at a Later Date

WEB SITE CREATION

All projects will be required to have a notebook that documents how the project was created and shows examples of output. Absolutely no project boards or exterior “backdrops” will be allowed at the State or Regional Fair.

NOTEBOOK REQUIREMENTS WILL BE DISCUSSED AT A LATER DATE.

Web Site Creations: Must have hardcopies of Web pages source coding, site/page plans, etc., hard copies (printouts) of web pages with graphics down through three levels of sublinks, whether these links are from local (hard disk) sources or hyperlinks from outside source. Documentation (bibliography) of source material.

Web Site Creation

Web sites may be created for Internet posting, or for local area Intranets within confined settings, such as a local school network, a closed network, or a "members only" network. There should be at least three separate pages that are hyperlinked together. At least three external links to "outside" information are also required. Because such external links might not be allowable within Intranets and cannot be "shown" without live Internet access, these links should be saved to the designer's storage (disk, CD, Zip, hard drive) and may be referenced as internal files although they were created and maintained on the World Wide Web.

The largest drawback to judging this category is the lack of live Internet access at the fair sites to demonstrate student projects that have external hyperlinks. Software such as Web Whacker or other saved file formats may collect sample interactive links within a local computer. Additional linked pages may be printed if there is not sufficient hard-drive space to store saved sublinks. A notebook with printed "screen shots" taken from interactive sessions and suitable written explanations of the project, its intent, and how it was created is also needed. The use of project boards alone for Web Pages is no longer adequate. All web pages must be demonstrated on a computer with their hyperlinks as described above.
